Plot: The year is 2018. Some people have grown tired of the usual Pokemon battles...you know, the ones with elemental attacks and such. Well, now the is the Pokemon Combat League (PCL.) The PCL is open to all trainers and their Pokemon. Of course, there is a twist. They cannot use any of their attacks. They can only use regular attacks, such as punching, kicking, biting, even wrestling moves have been used in the PCL.

This unique style of fighitng rapidly grew in popularity. Soon tournaments were forming everywhere. However, as the PCL grew, it became more and more corrupt. Gambling, fixing matches, and cheating grew more and more common. The particular thing was, this only made it more popular, until standard battling became almost obsolete.

Trainers in the PCL are called "coaches" while the Pokemon are referred to as "fighters." Plenty of Pokemon have been bred and raised solely for fighting, much to the dismay of certain people.

Eventually, the PCL was disbanded due to its massive corruption.

10 years later, the PCL is making a comeback...a big one. Now run by the notorious Team Rocket, the PCL has been marketed to the extreme. Standard battling was almost offically over, and fans flocked to areans to watch the fights, but Team Rocket was not satisfyed. They needed more fans, more money...more Pokemon.

Rules:

1. Standard RP rules.

2. You don't have to be a coach, but it is preferred.

3. No matter how you are, you can only have a max of 3 Pokemon. They won't have any attacks, but they will have levels (from 1-100 duh.) Level 100 Pokemon are about as rare as legendaries, while level 50 is more common.

Of course, this didn't help when he was old enough to live on his own, but he's worked hard to become a respected coach ever since he ot his first Pokemon.

Hometown: Vermilion City

((Actaully, yeah. No Ghosties, sorry. Anywayz...I hope we get more people.))

"Ladies and gentlemen," the annouced spoke, using a microphone to project his voice across the arena. "Welcome to the Volcano Cup Finals!"

Welcome to Saffron City, home of the Mega Combat Arena, the largest battlefield in the PCL. A capacity crowd was inside the dome, waiting for this final bout to begin.

The Volcano Cup was the one of the biggest events in the PCL. It pitting the best Fire types against each in pitched combat.

"In this corner, the underdog, or in this case "under monkey," Rude the Infernape and his Coach, Reese!"

Outside the ring, Reese Worthington was patiently seated, waiting for the crowd's cheer to die down. It certainly was a surprise to see them in the finals.

You see, normally only Rank A Coaches and above can sign up for such an prestigious tournament, but Rude had done so well in qualifying, that he made the cut. No one expected him to advance to the final round, not even his coach.

"And in this corner, the three-time champ, Brutus the Blaziken and his coach, Richard!"

The crowd was just as loud as it was for Rude as it was for Brutus.

"And get this folks, this final round is a special treat: a cage match!"

The audience went livid after that.

"Cage match...I didn't ask for that," Richard mumbled over the roar of the crowd.

Daniel smiled from his box seat. Shucked was at his foot as various big-time business men and other TR admins watched the match begin. There were various bets still going around the room and others were paying off bets from the last match.

"Rude and Reese certainly have made it farther then I would have called." Daniel said to himself as Shucked nodded. "Still... his tactics are hardly first rate. He'd easily get destroyed by even the weakest member of the S rank."

One of Daniel's superiors, a tall, large man named Frederich Hytten, approached him and put his hand on Daniel's shoulder. "That was a nice touch, adding the surprise cage match. People have tripled their bets and the webcam ratings are through the roof."

Daniel shook his head. He knew better than to take credit for someone else's idea in this business. "Wasn't me, sir. Admin Wellington has a lot of money on Richards and his blaziken. He figured Reese wouldn't be ready for a cage match so he ordered me to do this."

"I see..." The Frederich said. "Would you have added the cage if it weren't for Wellington?"

"No, sir." Daniel replied. "Reese has potential to make it farther and make us a lot more money on bets. I don't like the thought of such a promising investment getting taken out so soon."

Lily dislikes her reasons, and feels she is being cruel to her Pokemon, but she promises them that it'll all pay off soon enough.
While with people, whether she knows them or not, Lily is quite snobby and superficial. She says it's how she keeps her confidence, and honestly wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

She had entered a small tournament in Blackthorn, but lost to an overage opponent who got his way in by saying he was just tall for his age. She had told the hosts after the competition, and he was disqualified for breaking the rules. Yet, he had already taken off with the trophy, so what was rightfully Lily's never was in her possession.

"Hmm, a cage match" Shrad thought as the cage enclosed the fighters.
"Maybe it's a good thing I don't have a fire pokemon, ey Plar? I can't affored to be taken out this early in the plan." Shrad said to Plar, his Poliwrath, who had been watching the going ons little intrest. His thoughts were on his brother who had dissapeard a few months ago. Plar nodded. "Still, it's a good thing the cup is ending, we need to advance in order to get closer to the leaders. " Shrad added. "I hope that the regualar battles will start again soon".

Robert was on a nearby mountain, when the cage match in the stadium caught his eye. 'Pathetic...' He said. 'Pokemon fighting for amusement? The human race are becoming thick. Pokemon should be used as tool sof war, or slaves. Now, digger boulder and fortune... that's a different story.' Robert lifted his head up. 'But once I am ruler of this world... THERE WON'T BE ANY HUMANS TO BE THICK!!!' Robert manically laughed.

((Your welcome. S_S want to continue on the cadge match so we can get this going? Sorry to press but it's been a day, or are you just waiting for more people to join? ))

((Well, fortunately, my character can keep doing things regardless of the cage match.))

"TRYTIN!" A voice yelled after the doors to Daniel's box slammed open.

Daniel and Shucked turned and saw a business man in a wrinkled business suit and fuming out of his ears. Security guards released their pokemon and assaulted the man, pinning him to the ground. They were about to throw him out, but Daniel halted them.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"You ruined me!" The man screamed. "You let Richard get away with cheating in that last round. I put everything I had on his opponent, who was winning all the way through. I'm ruined now."

"Hmmm, well... we can't allow cheating, can we? For instance, we can't let a man make a huge bet and then not have to pay it when he loses."

"But, Richards..."

"Won that match fair and square. Just like Richard's last opponent had won all of his matches 'fair and square'."

The man was speechless now. Richard's last opponent had been cheating his way through the matches and everyone knew it. Daniel ordered security to remove the man from the grounds and they dragged him out.

"That was nice talking, Trytin." Frederich said.

"It's the beauty of these games, sir. If you've ever won off someone cheating, you have no grounds for complaint when you lose."

Robert continued trekking up the mountain. He released boulder. 'Now boulder, smash those rocks over there. I'm going to leave a nice treat for the people at the bottom...' easy enough, boulder smsashed a few rocks, and the shiftment of the stones then created an avalanche. Robert got out his rope swing and returned boulder. He shouted 'TERRIIIAAA!!!' AS he swung off the mountain. The avalanche roared to the bottom.

Shrad heard a deep rumbling and turned around and saw an avalanche heading right at the stands below him. Fearing the stand would collapse and his base destroyed he shouted, "Plar! Go try to smash those rocks! Astem and Sprac go and stop them with your sludge and rollout!." As they went off he was thinking if he could use this distraction as an advantage and dissapeared into the hallway whare the admins offices were.

Robert then swung onto the top of a base. Regardless of what was inside, he used a special device to create more avalanches in other nearby mountains. He then saw pokemon trying to stop the fall. 'Pathetic pokemon...' He then released fortune and told it to put the pokemon to sleep.' He saw the cage match again. 'Ah. My next target. Once fortune has cleared stuff up here more humans will suffer...

Plar smashed through yet another rock, and then suddenly heard some singing. "What a nice melody" he thought to himself, "it sounds just like the song my brother started singing after he became a politoad.....Yawn...I think I'll take a nap" and he fell asleep.

Astem had finished spraying sludge in front of the enterance when he saw Plar fall to the ground, "he must have fainted from the extertion, I better go get him" Astem maneged to get him to the enterance of the under ground tunnel which was their base when she finally fell asleep thinking "we probably couldn't have stopped it anyway".

Sprac was smashing the rocks apart with rollout, unable to stop, unaffected from the singing because of his lack of ears, when he saw both his freinds collapse. "Why are they falling asleep!? Shrad odered us to stop the avallanche!" He continued to smash the rocks until he finally maneged to stop, and saw more rocks tumbling right after them! "How did another avalanche start?!?!" He thought. "Now we'll all be crushed!! " Then he though of the move Astem had been teaching him, "it seems I have no choice" he rolled into the center of the oncoming avalanche, used explosion, and fainted.

((lily, mike or duke; a little help here?))

((As you can see, I'm not online 24/7. Plus several of your Pokemon's levels are WAY TOO HIGH. And a 15 year old Geologist?))

((Also, last time I checked, there were no mountains in Saffron city, which is all buildings and stuff.))

"Let the fight begin!"

A bell rang, similar to a boxing bell. The fight had begun.

Almost instantly, Brutus sprung into action, landing several hard hits on Rude before he could even react. He then grabbed Rude by the tail and swung him around, all this while Reese just watched.

"He's too fast...and too high leveled. We can't win with strength or speed, so we'll have to try strategy."

Brutus had let go of Rude's tail, sending the primate on a crash course with the steel bars of the cage.

((As you can see, I'm not online 24/7. Plus several of your Pokemon's levels are WAY TOO HIGH. And a 15 year old Geologist?))

((Also, last time I checked, there were no mountains in Saffron city, which is all buildings and stuff.))

((sorry about that, I just put that out there for you to see. Do the levels really matter? I'll change them. ))

((It has a hill near it though, I checked a map that shows the land features. This is set in Saffron? ))

((How dare you not be on 24/7, S_S. Don't you know that your life comes second to the recreational activities of complete strangers that you will never meet? ))

Shucked grimaced when Rude collided with the bars. The look was a sort of, "I've been there" expression.

"Doesn't look like the investment will be winning." Frederich said.

"I don't care if he wins or not, I just don't want Reese to stop being a coach. Underdogs tend to have high odds against them and underdogs that can win have heavy gamblers betting on them." Shucked nodded and continued watching.

"Reese may have to cheat." Daniel said as he, Frederich, and Shucked shared a laugh. "Cheating" was so common, it was almost part of the rules.

((How dare you not be on 24/7, S_S. Don't you know that your life comes second to the recreational activities of complete strangers that you will never meet? ))

((lol ))

Shrad yanked on the door knob. "Come on, come ON you ----" he muttered, suddenly the knob came off. "YES!" he shouted and at that moment a large explosion came from above the office, he looked up and for a moment concern appered on his face; then he focused on machienery in front of him. "Darn, not an office" he thought and preceded onto the next door, after placing a remote detonator next to the light controls. "Just in case" he thought.
